Risk and resilience

Risk Assessments

A risk assessment should give leadership a clear view of which exposures matter most and what to address first. We use NIST SP 800-30 to review your systems, data, vendors, and processes, then deliver findings for budget and remediation decisions. HIPAA and the GLBA Safeguards Rule include documented risk-assessment requirements; the scope and cadence depend on your organization and applicable rules.

Questions

Common questions.

There is no single interval that applies to every organization. HIPAA calls for an accurate and thorough risk analysis as part of an ongoing process, and HHS says frequency varies with the organization’s environment. We help set a documented review cadence and revisit the analysis when systems, vendors, operations, or incidents materially change.

No. A penetration test checks whether specific technical weaknesses can be exploited. A risk assessment looks across people, processes, technology, and vendors to determine what is most likely to cause harm and what to fix first. The two complement each other.

A findings report written for decision makers, a risk register you can maintain, a prioritized remediation roadmap, and an executive readout with your leadership team.
